As the 1980s saw a boom in animated shows based on toys, BraveStarr arrived in syndication on September 14, 1987, with a unique approach. Unlike most toy-based cartoons, Filmation created BraveStarr first and then partnered with Mattel, reversing the usual process. Set in the 23rd century on the desert planet New Texas, the show combined science fiction and Western themes. It followed Marshal BraveStarr, a Native American lawman voiced by Pat Fraley, who used the power of spirit animals to fight the villainous Tex Hex and the bull-like Stampede. The series ran for 65 episodes, ending its initial run on February 24, 1988. Less than a month later, on March 18, 1988, Filmation released BraveStarr: The Movie, a story that took place before the series. Unfortunately, the movie was a failure, effectively ending the BraveStarr franchise and contributing to the eventual downfall of Filmation.

Val Kilmer was cast as Father Fintan in the film As Deep as the Grave, a priest with Native American spiritual beliefs. This role resonated with Kilmer’s own Cherokee heritage, alongside his Swedish, German, and Irish ancestry. The character was also written to have tuberculosis, which conveniently aligned with Kilmer’s existing vocal limitations. Director Coerte Voorhees felt it was too perfect a fit to let Kilmer’s health prevent the film from happening, especially given the movie’s small budget and the fact that production had already spanned six years, leaving them with limited alternatives.

Doinksoft’s Cullen Dwyer recently expressed frustration with the term ‘roguelike.’ He explained that searching for it online yields unrelated results like poker, pachinko, story-driven games, and even card games. Dwyer questions how these compare to the classic 1980s-style, turn-based dungeon crawlers originally associated with the term, arguing that simply having ‘randomness’ isn’t enough to qualify. He jokingly admits to contributing to the problem and suggests the term ‘Metroidvania’ might be equally misused.

It’s not only potential award winners that are adding more screenings. A new Jumanji movie starring Dwayne Johnson is also coming out in December. According to Variety, theater owners are actually more concerned that Jumanji 3 will underperform in its opening weekend. This is because theaters will likely prioritize showings of Doomsday and the anticipated Dune: Part Three, leaving fewer screens available for Jumanji.

Despite my excitement for Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3, I do have some concerns. The way the game is structured as a trilogy creates a significant, unavoidable problem that could jeopardize the future of the series. While I’m confident Part 3 will solidify this as a truly legendary JRPG series, it will face unique challenges that the first two games didn’t, and that’s a little worrying.
